Frenchman Karim Benzema has already joined Al Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season.
The likes of N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech of Chelsea are all primed to sign for Saudi Arabia league clubs.
The Saudi Pro League is where Pitso Mosimane led Al Alhi before parting ways with the club over unpaid dues.
Amid all the buzz, former Kaizer Chiefs hotshot Knowledge Musona has found a new club.

The club confirmed Musona’s signing most recently. He will join Saudi Pro League side Al Riyadh FC on 1 July.
The revered ex-Amakhosi star did not renew his contract with another Saudi Pro league Al Tai.
He has been in the books of Al Tai since July 2021 following a botched spell in Belgium at RSC Anderlecht.
